Again, the United States Air

like other branches of the Armed
Services, traditionally has been
long on Southern bases because of
year-around training weather.
But we doubt that the Air Force
as a matter of policy is going into
communities with bad race rela-

son because its full energies ,can-
not be directed against the poten-

must be concerned even as a guest

In fact, it is safe to assume that
one of the major reasons why Lit-

for this particular base in the firs

Wisconsin Democrats Split

St. Louis UP) — Rioting Negroes
shouting "little Little Rock" bat-
Aled St. Louis county police early
today after an officer arrested
a 17-year-old youth on a traffic
I charge.
About 35 Negroes from the vil-
lage of Meach4m Park near sub-
urban Kirkwood were involved
in the hour-long riot, county po-
lice said. Several were arrested
after four patrol cars were call-
ed to the scene.
Bricks and stones were hurled
at the patrol car of Patrolma
Richard Seger, 25, who had stop-
ped a car driven by Lee W. Law-
rence, 17, on a careless driving
charge.
Seger said he ordered Lawrence
out of the car for a search and
"he came out fighting."
Other men came out of nearby
houses as Seger sought to sub-
due Lawrence and his 17-year-old
companion, Alfred S. Jackson.
"It seemed there were a 1,000,"
Seger said, "but I guess there
weren't more than 35 or 40."
Seger said he battled his way
back to his patrol car and radio-
ed for help. Then a brick crash-
ed through the window of the
e patrol car and struck Seger in
the arm. The group chanted
"little Little Rock."
s Four one-man patrol cars quick-
f ly arrived on the scene and an-
r other 10 or 15 minutes were need-
ed to quell the rioters, officers
said.
Lawrence, Jackson, and five
others were taken to county po-
lice headquarters and booked on
charges of assaulting an officer,
inciting a riot and resisting ar-
rest.
Seger was treated at county
hospital for cuts and bruises.

Drs Dale Alford, one of the six
members of the Little Rock
School Board, said yesterday that.
he opposed the issuing of a state-
ment by the Board Tuesday tell-
ing its side of dealings with Gov-
ednor Faubus preceding the start
of school at Central High School
last fall.
In a prepared statement Dr.
Alford said he opposed the is-
suance of the Board's statement.
because "it was not in the best
interest of the school children or
the Little Rock School District."
The Board member said he was
"never advised of the details of
the contents" of the statement
and that the first he knew of them
was by reading the statement
published Wednesday in the Ga-
zette.
The Board statement chal-
lenged at almost every essential
point Mr. Faubus' version of their
dealings which was published in
the June 20 issue of the weekly
magazine, U. S. News & World
Report.
Dr. Alford said he did "not
.agree with all the impressions
left by" the .Board's statement.
He wouldn't say which impres-
sions and he turned back all Clileg'
tions about his statement with:
"I have no further comment, at
the present time."
The text of Dr. Alford's state-
ment:
"I feel that in the public inter-
' sst I should make my position
known relative to the statement
ourportedly issued by the Little
Rock School Board which appear-

Upton's Account
Because Superintendent Virgil ii_
T. Blossom was busy at a school
construction contract session at
the School Board offices most of
the day Tuesday, Upton said that
it was impossible to call a Board
meeting until after office hours.
He said he worked up a draft
of the Board statement and was
in I.elephone consultation with
other members throughout. the
afternoon.
Be said all members of the
Board in the city were reached
by telephone and all approved
the issuing of the statement ex-
cept Dr. Alford. In the interests
of saving time, .he said, he asked
those who approved issuing the
statement to meet him at the
Gazette Building at 9 p. m. for
final clearance. The statement
was released to the Gazette and
to the Associated Press and
United Press International. whose
local bureaus are in the Gazette
building.
Because of the late clearance
of the statement, the Gazette was
unable to carry the complete text
in its early editions Wednesday
morning.
"I did not ask Dr. Alford to
approve the statement because
he had indicated his opposition
to issuing a statement of any
kind. I did tell him we would
be delighted to have him read it
if he cared in," Upton said.
The staterbent was approved
formally by a majority of four
members of the six-man Board.
